REALLY!? Jennifer Rubin's case against being armed with a handgun vs. 'kid with an AR-15' sends heads to desks

The school shooting in Florida has once again sparked the debate about armed guards in schools and/or allowing teachers to carry weapons:

The Washington Post’s in-house “conservative,” Jennifer Rubin, who has previously ranted against the NRA and lawful gun owners, doesn’t see the point at all in being armed if it’s against somebody using an AR-15:

If they are going up against a kid with an AR-15 what frigging good will a handgun be or are they bringing their own AR-15 to school? This idiocy needs to be mocked incessantly

Um, who wants to tell her?

Is she saying that if you don’t have a gun as large in physical size as the one a would-be killer is carrying there’s no point in carrying one at all? Rubin’s tweet about what needs to be “mocked incessantly” was mocked incessantly:

You can shoot at a bad guy with a handgun. You might scare away or even hit him.

Hope that helps.

Yes it's so much better to be unarmed and helpless.

When the alternative is to simply be a bullet sponge

Then absolutely a handgun is a great option

And what would be wrong with a pistol in a holster and an AR-15 in a safe if needed?

Police and the Secret Service carry handguns.

A basic 9mm handgun fires a bullet (115-124 grain) that is twice the size of a bullet fired from an AR-15 (55-62 grain). https://t.co/QDHtPXj10r

I know you're committed to your absolute ignorance of guns, but handguns are more powerful than AR-15s https://t.co/BWxiK9i1BX

The question isn't if Jen's a full on liberal now. The question is if she's somehow changed or if she was simply hiding it all along until Trump?

This is as dumb as anything the Left has ever tweeted. https://t.co/CrPrp3fI6D
